 - [v_cvt_pkrtz_f16_f32 and v_pack_b32_f16 denormals](../../../core/shader/recompiler/Translation/src/ConvertInstructions.cpp) follow the `FLOAT_MODE` f16 denormal field: `v_cvt_pkrtz_f16_f32` flushes each denormal half result to its signed zero when bit 1 is clear (0 and 1), and `v_pack_b32_f16` flushes each denormal half input to its signed zero when bit 0 is clear (0 and 2). Measured on RDNA2 (gfx1031, Radeon RX 6700 XT, AMD Windows driver 32.0.21045.5002 through HIP) at IEEE=0 and IEEE=1 with denorm16 0..3 and f32 denormals kept, over 256 pairs of 16 f32 values around the f16 denormal range for `v_cvt_pkrtz_f16_f32` and 256 pairs of 16 halves (zeros, denormals, minimum normals, ±1, the largest finite value, infinities and quiet and signaling NaNs) for `v_pack_b32_f16`. Shaders without a known float mode keep the previous lowering. The PS5's gfx1013 is not measured.
 - [Comparison sampling of a color texture](../../../core/shader/recompiler/SpirvBackend/src/SpirvImageEmitter.cpp) (`image_sample_c`/`image_sample_c_lz` on a texture that is not R32 float or R16 unorm) is emulated in the shader, since Vulkan compares only depth formats: the red channel is fetched, compared and, for bilinear filtering, blended (compare, then filter). Only 2D, 2D array and cube views, float/unorm/snorm formats, wrap, clamp-to-edge and clamp-to-border addressing (border red 0 for the black borders, 1 for opaque white) and point or bilinear filtering at one level are implemented, with texel offsets added to the texel indices; LOD biases and clamps are accepted, as they cannot select another level of a single-level sample. Half-border addressing, the border color table, gradients, gathers, other dimensions, anisotropy (except on the 8-bit formats below) and mip filtering throw. Under bilinear filtering, taps past a clamp-to-border edge compare the border value and blend with the texel taps, so results near the edge depend on the filter weights. AMD documentation does not say how a color format's reference is handled: it is clamped to [0, 1] for unorm and [-1, 1] for snorm, as Vulkan does for unorm depth, and not clamped for float. 8-bit sRGB and UNORM (`Format8Srgb`, `Format8_8Srgb`, `Format8_8_8_8Srgb`, `Format8UNorm`, `Format8_8UNorm`, `Format8_8_8_8UNorm`) return 0 for every compare function, measured with `image_sample_c_lz` on gfx1035 over references -0.5..1.5 and texel codes 0..255. A bilinear cube of those 8-bit formats without `DISABLE_CUBE_WRAP`, and an anisotropic S# on them, return 0 for the same reason; float, snorm and the other unorm bilinear cubes without that bit still throw. Bilinear weights are full float, not the hardware's fixed-point subtexel weights
 - [Negative color-texture comparison wrap indices](../../../core/shader/recompiler/SpirvBackend/src/SpirvImageEmitter.cpp) (libSceAgcDriver) use explicit `OpSRem` normalization to implement modulo; the negative-offset point-wrap regression fails with direct `OpSMod` and passes with normalization on Mesa 22.3.6 llvmpipe (LLVM 15.0.6), but negative-index wrap has not been measured on PS5 hardware.
-- [Converted unorm images](../../../core/shader/recompiler/SpirvBackend/src/SpirvImageEmitter.cpp) (10_11_11_UNORM, read and written through an R32_UINT view): samples, gathers, LOD queries, 16-bit data and a DST_SEL of the missing W channel throw.
+- [Converted unorm images](../../../core/shader/recompiler/SpirvBackend/src/SpirvImageEmitter.cpp) (10_11_11_UNORM, read and written through an R32_UINT view) are sampled in the shader, the way color comparisons are emulated: `image_sample` of a 2D or 2D array view fetches the one or four texels at LOD 0, decodes them and blends them, for point or bilinear filtering with equal minification and magnification filters and wrap or clamp-to-edge addressing. A shader gets these sample modes only once a converted descriptor reaches one of its sampled images: that capture throws `ConvertedSampleRequired`, the driver records the program and prepares it again with `GuestContext::convertedSamples`, so such a shader is prepared twice per run and its first capture is repeated. The record lives with the registered program and is not kept across runs. Bilinear weights are rounded to the hardware's 8-bit grid (`roundEven(fraction * 256) / 256`, ties to even), as measured with `image_sample_lz` on RDNA2 (gfx1035) for 10_11_11 UNORM texels by adriadam10 in #5958; point sampling, decoding, swizzles and wrap and clamp-to-edge addressing matched the same measurement. A sample that is not `_lz` needs an image with one mip level; gathers, LOD queries, clamp-to-border and mirrored addressing, other filters, min/max reduction, unnormalized coordinates, images selected at run time, 16-bit data and a DST_SEL of the missing W channel throw.
 - [Converted unorm image loads](../../../core/shader/recompiler/SpirvBackend/src/SpirvImageEmitter.cpp) divide by 2^n - 1 with the buffer format path's `OpFDiv`, which Vulkan allows to be up to 2.5 ULP off, so some drivers are not bit-exact.
 - [64-bit LDS atomics](../../../core/shader/recompiler/SpirvBackend/src/SpirvMemory/SpirvMemoryInstructions.cpp) (`ds_*_u64`, `ds_*_b64`, `ds_*_f64`) read and write the two dwords under a workgroup lock stored after the guest LDS, as LDS is a 32-bit array without 64-bit atomics. On RDNA2 (gfx1036) the LDS serialises a 32-bit atomic on a slot's high dword and a 64-bit atomic on that slot: 128 lanes of `ds_add_u32` and 128 lanes of `ds_add_u64` on one slot sum exactly. Only that pair was measured. Every 32-bit LDS atomic of a program that contains a 64-bit LDS atomic therefore takes the same lock, including a 32-bit `flat_atomic_*` whose address lands in the LDS aperture (a 64-bit one takes it already); the flat forms were not measured against a 64-bit atomic either (the other 32-bit LDS atomics, `ds_min/max`, `ds_cmpst`, the float forms, `ds_inc/dec`, `ds_mskor` and `ds_wrxchg`, are extrapolated from `ds_add_u32` and were not measured against a 64-bit atomic); a program without a 64-bit LDS atomic keeps its native 32-bit atomics. `ds_condxchg32_rtn_b64` is two `ds_mskor` halves, each under the lock but not atomic as a pair, so a 64-bit atomic between the two halves is not excluded. Sub-dword writes (`ds_write_b8`, `ds_write_b16` and their `_d16_hi` forms) and plain `ds_read_*`, `ds_write_*`, `ds_append_u32` and `ds_consume_u32` are not taken under the lock, so a plain access racing a 64-bit atomic on the same dwords can see or overwrite one half of it; whether the hardware orders them was not measured. The lock serialises the workgroup's LDS atomics of such a program; the throughput cost was not measured. `VK_KHR_workgroup_memory_explicit_layout` with `shaderSharedInt64Atomics` would make both widths native and is not used. A 64-bit atomic at an address that is 4-byte but not 8-byte aligned faults the wave on gfx1036, as on gfx1035. When the LDS lives in device memory (compute LDS beyond the device's shared-memory limit) and the device has `shaderBufferInt64Atomics`, no lock is used: a 64-bit atomic is a compare-exchange loop on a 64-bit view of the storage buffer and a 32-bit atomic is a native buffer atomic, a misaligned 64-bit atomic records the `Unaligned` shader fault with the LDS byte address instead of updating, so a mixed-width pair on one slot relies on the device ordering both widths on one buffer address; only `ds_add_u32` against `ds_add_u64` was measured, on gfx1036 (AMD Windows driver 32.0.21042.62) and an RTX 4070 SUPER. The lock is not used there because AMD's Windows driver compiles an acquire or release on a storage buffer, at workgroup scope or wider, to `s_barrier`, and those barriers inside the lock's divergent loop pair with the program's own `s_barrier`s. The fence after each LDS atomic compiles to `s_barrier` on that driver as well, so a wave that skips an LDS atomic that other waves of its workgroup execute misses a barrier they reach; its effect was not measured. On that path a 64-bit atomic at an address that is 4-byte but not 8-byte aligned is skipped and returns 0.
 - [LDS float atomics](../../../core/shader/recompiler/SpirvBackend/src/SpirvMemory/SpirvMemoryInstructions.cpp) (`ds_min/max/cmpst_f32`, `ds_min/max/cmpst_f64` and their `_rtn` forms) follow the hardware measured on RDNA2 (gfx1036) over 14 x 14 operand sets (zeros, ones, infinities, denormals, quiet and signalling NaNs of both signs and with payloads) in IEEE 0 and 1 with every value 0-3 of the type's denormal field: both operands are flushed to a signed zero when bit 0 of the field is clear (0 and 2; 1 and 3 keep them; the f32 field for the f32 forms, the f16/f64 field for the f64 forms; a shader without a known float mode flushes f32 and keeps f64), then a signalling-NaN data operand is stored quieted, else a signalling-NaN old value is stored quieted, else a quiet-NaN old value is replaced by the data, else a quiet-NaN data operand loses, else the ordered compare with -0 below +0 decides, and the flushed value is what is written, also when the old value wins. `cmpst` compares the flushed bits (both zeros equal, NaN never equal) and leaves memory unchanged when they differ. The returned value is always the old value as it was in memory. `IEEE_MODE` has no effect. The same bit rule serves the buffer float atomics (`AtomicFloatBits`). Not measured: a denormal or signalling-NaN `data1` of `cmpst` (stored as given). `ds_add_f32` and `ds_add_rtn_f32` follow RDNA1 (gfx1010, RX 5700 XT), measured with the [hardware oracle](../HW_ORACLE.md) template run through the Windows driver's comgr and HIP runtime over 1574 operand pairs (signed zeros, denormals, the smallest normals, infinities, quiet and signalling NaNs with payloads, the largest normals, random pairs near the denormal range and pairs that nearly cancel) in all 16 combinations of the f32 denormal field and the f32 round mode, and at IEEE 1 and DX10 clamp 0: both operands are flushed to a signed zero when bit 0 of the field is clear and the result when bit 1 is clear, the sum is rounded to nearest even whatever the round mode, a NaN data operand is stored quieted, else a NaN old value is stored quieted, `+inf + -inf` stores 0xffc00000, and `IEEE_MODE` and `DX10_CLAMP` have no effect. The sum is the host's `OpFAdd` between those flushes, so where the field keeps f32 denormals the result also depends on the host preserving them, which the module does not request. thuanquang measured the same rule on RDNA2 (gfx1031, RX 6700 XT) in #5492, with the same operand classes and 18 modes in wave32 and wave64; the PS5's gfx1013 is not measured.
